While it's an objective of mine to make contributions in the spirit of Sheldon Brown, I don't feel like I pack the horsepower to do it. I don't have his depth of knowledge and I doubt I've been as consistantly respectful to people who hold opinions that differ from mine..

There will never be another Sheldon. We should be grateful for the opportunity we have had to experience his knowledge and wit this closely. Without the miracle of computers and the internet I couldn't have gotten to know the type of person he was. It was a wonderful thing.

Unfortunately, now Sheldon's gone. He can't be replaced.
